I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever.
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,
Forever and forever.

I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,
I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and His forever.
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,
I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and His forever.

So kind, and true, and tender,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well,
What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No! I am His forever.
So kind, and true, and tender,
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well,
What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No! I am His forever.

The day I discovered this song, it sank into my heart. Then as I looked at the lyrics, the message went deep into my heart. I repeatedly played it while singing along. It soothes my heart to know I have a friend who is always there for me. I just went to this hymn today again as I felt depressed for some situations going on in my life and family. But it reensured me of a Friend who is always there. He will let me through.
Please keep pray for me!

i had sinned against God by consulting sorcery... He demonstrated His love to me by directing to repentance through withheld opportunities, while at the same time telling me that He has a great purpose for my life to serve Him... when I came before Him and the Saviour and asked for forgiveness and redemption and redeployment, He in the Father and the Son came through for me 100% ... and this is "my song", even in my mother tongue Ruhororo (Runyakitara)...

Awesome hymn. It ministers peace to my soul always.
Yes we have a Friend. A selfless one who gave His Life for us and by His Grace nothing and I mean nothing will take us from His side. Hallelujah!
